"First of all, Adam Sandler officiated it. He came down, everybody laughed and thought it was a joke at first, but he actually did. He probably spoke for 20 or 30 minutes, vascillated between funny, very sincere, sang a few things, but you know—he sang during his officiating process. But if there was a key theme to his thing, there were two things I remember really distinctly. One is you know, in your typical vows, the officiator says, 'For rich or for poorer,' Adam said, 'You know, you're not going to have to worry about that.' And the second thing is, his key message was, 'Kiss each other. Every day, in the morning, at night, after dinner. Just kiss often.' And then Travis went first with his vows. He probably spoke for 30 minutes, and I don't want to violate his privacy, but I was crying, which I was trying to hold back, I mean, he made himself unbelievably vulnerable. I was sitting there crying and I was trying to hold it back until I look around and there's all these 300-pound men from the football business crying as well, and so I felt really comfortable, just kind of let go on it. It was very, very powerful. And then Taylor went, and she also wrote her own vows. She probably spoke for 30 minutes. And it was poetic. It was really well done. And then the last thing I'll tell you about the wedding, or two things that were really incredible. One was, you know, the vows and the ceremony were very solemn, very sincere, very emotional. Then they opened up, you kind of walked through this massive castle that they built, and by the way, you would never guess you're in Madison Square Garden, the way they did it. It was incredible. But you walk through this castle that they built, and behind it, they had all sorts of games, amazing giveaways to people, and then the stage, initially, Taylor and Paul McCartney sang, and then Taylor and Stevie Nicks sang, and then for the rest of the night, everybody, the whole entertainment industry is—I kept saying, 'If something happens to this building, the entertainment industry in the US is gone—they just popped up onstage and sang songs. So at one point, I was dancing with my wife, and without any exaggeration, I had Paul McCartney to my left, Brad Pitt in front of me, Cindy Crawford on this side, and I can't remember who was behind me. We're just surrounded by legends. [Going to a normal wedding after this] is going to be a letdown, that's for sure. But it was, they really calibrated the second part of it to their guests. I've never seen a wedding that was so designed to delight the guest and make sure they have a lot of fun. Usually, there's always this ongoing theme about the bride and groom. For them, the ceremony was very much about them. Once you went through that castle, it was all about the guests, and they went over the top to make sure everybody had a great time."
